review:
'OK' by Michelle McSweeney is a book in the Object Lessons series: a series of short essays about everyday things.

This book looks at the word 'OK' and talks about its origin as well as how it may have become part of the common vernacular. It traces from a mispelled phrase then to use in a political campaign. It gained more speed with rail lines and picked up variants from the internet.

I enjoyed this linguistic journey. The length made it a quick read, and there were lots of facts along the way.
